What’s new

Lots of new features and bug fixes in this new release!

Our biggest news is the new AngularJS code for our entities, thanks to gzsombor in PR #1372). Entities have now an easier-to-read code and better URLs. This can of course still be improved, don’t hesitate to send us feedback!

One long-standing and really annoying issue with Jadira (see #1626) is finally fixed: many thanks to @chrisphe, the Jadira lead developer, who did the 4.0.0.GA release just for us, only a few hours after we asked it on Twitter!

We upgraded to Swagger 2, now called “SpringFox”, see #1508, and this allowed us to solve another long-standing issue with date handling in swagger, see #1515.

Last but not least, we also upgraded to Spring Boot 1.2.5 (highly recommended upgrade as there is a security fix), Cassandra 2.1.7 (which fixes also a number of bugs) and Gatling 2.1.6.
